Who was the guy that the Sox got in the middle of that season that seemed to really get that team to take off? It seems like I remember he was a second baseman or shortstop.

Will we win ugly in '05?

For Tony Bernazard. The Sox and Seattle swapped second sackers.

Let me tell you what jump started that season. Larussa moved Fisk to batting second in the order. It was unorthodox moving a big catcher there but it worked. Fisk was just one of many very smart players on that team. Greg Luzinski despite his size was a terrific baserunner. It was that kind of year: smart fundamental baseball. You couple that with lights out pitching in the second half and 99 wins is what you get. God I love that season!!!
